My Subjects

Introduction

This is my portfolio. 2 subjects that I am good at are Social studies and music. I am having problems with Math and LA, I need to improve in those to subjects. My goal for the next 6 weeks of school are to not procrastinate in my homework, use class time a bit more wisely and start studying for exams!

Math

Term 1 Reflection


Term 1 was very... interesting, because we learned about ratio, rate and proportion. Which I thought was very easy. The one that I thought that was the easiest was ratio. I did have fun that term but I blanked out on the test. Passing grade but I think that I could have done better. Term 1 was fun and I can’t wait until term 2!

Term 2 Reflection

In term 2 I did not do very well on percent. I know what I did wrong and found my mistakes so I can do better on my year end exam. Total surface area was hard for me at first but after I got used to it and understood what I had to do. I had no problem with volume. I knew what I had to do and did well on my volume test. Math is not my favorite subject, but at least now I kind of understand all of it. I will do be

Proportion, Rate and Ratio

















Pythagoras

Percent
